Resumo: | It’s well known that autopsy, conceived as the act of seeing for oneself, according to François Hartog, was a fundamental device of classical historiography. But it has not ceased to participate in the development of historical knowledge in modern times. It is certain, however, that the assumptions that guided this procedure have undergone profound changes. The aim of this paper is to investigate the status of autopsy as an epistemological resource for writing history in nineteenth-century Brazil. To this end, we will investigate a variety of texts, including both works of scholarly criticism and prescriptive texts on writing history published in the period. In this paper, the modern autopsy is compared with its ancient version and examined through the notion of historical distance. This approach allows us to indicate the multiple uses of autopsy in the modern period: in addition to legitimizing historiographical works, autopsy can be understood as a form of mediation between the historian, the temporalities, the territory portrayed, and the historical sources used in the reconstruction of the past. |

É certo, todavia, que os pressupostos que nortearam o procedimento passaram por profundas modificações. O objetivo deste artigo é investigar o estatuto da autópsia como um recurso epistemológico para a historiografia brasileira durante o século XIX. Com esse intuito, considera-se como parte do corpo documental tanto trabalhos voltados para a elaboração da crítica erudita, quanto textos prescritivos acerca do fazer historiográfico no período. A fim de mapear seus diversos usos, a autópsia moderna é contrastada com sua versão antiga e é abordada a partir da noção de distância histórica. Esses encaminhamentos permitem apreender a autópsia como um expediente múltiplo, concebido não apenas como um modo de legitimar relatos e práticas, mas também como uma forma de mediação entre o historiador, as temporalidades, o território e as fontes mobilizadas na reconstrução do passado.Sociedade Brasileira de Teoria e História da Historiografia, Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto, Universidade Federal do Estado do Rio de Janeiro2023-12-26info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado pelos paresapplication/pdfhttps://www.historiadahistoriografia.com.br/revista/article/view/197410.15848/hh.v16i41.1974História da Historiografia: International Journal of Theory and History of Historiography; Vol. 16 No. 41 (2023); 1-25História da Historiografia: International Journal of Theory and History of Historiography; Vol. 16 Núm. 41 (2023); 1-25História da Historiografia: International Journal of Theory and History of Historiography; v. 16 n. 41 (2023); 1-251983-9928reponame:História da Historiografiainstname:Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto (UFOP)instacron:UFOPporhttps://www.historiadahistoriografia.com.br/revista/article/view/1974/1056Copyright (c) 2023 Eduardo Wright Cardosohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessWright Cardoso, Eduardo 2023-12-29T18:10:35Zoai:ojs.www.historiadahistoriografia.com.br:article/1974Revistahttps://www.historiadahistoriografia.com.br/revistaPUBhttps://www.historiadahistoriografia.com.br/revista/oaivaldei354@gmail.com || historiadahistoriografia@hotmail.com1983-99281983-9928opendoar:2023-12-29T18:10:35História da Historiografia - Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto (UFOP)false |
